Bath resealing near Chelford

About our bath resealing in Chelford

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Signs you need bath resealing in Chelford

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chelford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Chelford questions

Do you cover Chelford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chelford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you cover the whole of Cheshire East?

Everywhere in the UK, Chelford included. Travel is included in the price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chelford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
